Re: Priscilla Mullins & John Alden 1600's MA

TO TELL THE STORY OF THE KILLING IDA MASON, I HAVE TO EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS.. THE PHRASE. 'ROSY THE RIVITER' IS A TRIBUTE THE WORKING WEMON THAT HELPED BUILD WAR IMPLEMENTS TO FIGHT WW2....THE BACK WOOD PEOPLE HAD BEEN IN THE DIPRESION AND WERE WITHOUR WORK AND THE POPULATION WERE ANXIOUS TO MOVE INTO TOWN. IDA MASION WAS ONE OF THESE WEMON. SHE CAME TO ASHLAND WHERE THE ASHLAND REFIGING WAS BUILT BY THE GOVERNMENT.

IDA HAD A COUSIN,'MATHEW' FYFFE WORKONG IN ASHLAND WHO WAS WOOING MISS MASION, IN OR ABOUT 1946 MATHEW AND IDA WERE ON A WHOREL IN MOREHEAD, KY WHERE THEY PICKED UP FRINDS, MARDIE AND PAT ISON AND THEY ALL WENT TO RODBON HOLLER ON A DRINKING SPREE THAT RRSULTED THAT IDA WAS KILLED. HER BODY WAS BROUGHT TO THE RAILROAD TRACK AND DUMPT ON THE TRACK. THE CULPARTS FAILED TO GET TO THE TRAACK BEFORE A TRAIN HAD PASSED.

THE INVESTIGATION PRUSED AND MATHEW WAS INDITED AND STOOD TRILE FOR THE MURDR. THE TRILE WAS HELD IN THE ROWEN COUNTY COURT. MATHEW'S LAWYER WAS SIMEON WILLIS AT FIRST TRILE WHICH WAS JURY LOCKED. IN THE MEAANTIME WILLIS BECAME THE GOVERNOR AND COULD NOT DEFEND MATHEW FOR THE SECOND TRILE WHICH MATHEW RECIEVED A LIFE SENTENCE AND PUT IN JAIL.WHER HE SERVE INTIL SOMETIME LATER THE GOVERNER PARDENED HIM.

THAT IS THE SORTEST WAY THAT I CAN EXPLAAIN THE EVENT. MOST OF THE INFO I HAVE COMES FROM BRAD ISON WHO ATTENDED THE TRILE WHILE GOING TO COLLEGE AT MOREHEAD STAT COLLEGE. THIS TRILE DATE I THINK WAS HELD IN 1946, I THINK WHERE WE BOTH GRADUATED IN 1950
